Connecting a Reader
Location On Board
Access Control Readers are what allows you to gain access to an entry
door. Connecting them is easy as long as you know what you are doing. Most
of the labels on the board for each port correspond to the reader but below will
explain in more detail how it works.
• +12vDC
: This port is the 12vDC output to provide power to the reader. It is
typically a
Red
Wire.
• GRD
: This port provides Ground to the reader. It is typically a Black Wire.
• D1
: This is a Data port to transmit data from the reader and send it to the
board. It is typically a
Gray
or
White
Wire.
• D0
: This is a Data port to transmit data from the board and send it to the
Reader. It is typically a
Green
Wire.
• LED
: This is the port where you connect the LED cable from the reader to. It
is only required if the reader needs it. It is typically a
Blue
Wire. (Optional) you
can also connect your
BEEP
wire to this port for added features.

Access Control Readers come in
different forms but function all the
same. They use input from either a
Card, Fob, Finger Print, or Numerical
text input as a form of identification.
